Keith Moon 2/51

The Greatest Party Animals Of All Time

Every great partier has to have a great nickname, and Keith Moon is no exception. Known as “Moon the Loon” to friends and authorities alike, this demented drummer lived up to his moniker time and again by trashing hotel rooms, blowing up toilets and dropping television sets off precariously high balconies. In fact, Moon was so utterly destructive that he was banned from four different hotel chains around the world. One of his most memorable stunts occurred on August 23, 1967 when he reportedly drove a Lincoln Continental into a Holiday Inn swimming pool in Flint, Mich. The incident caused thousands of dollars in damages and further enhanced his reputation as one of rock 'n' roll's wildest performers.
